Hi All,
I am running oracle Linux with free nginx and I have been trying to
get the nginx-geoip2-module.so module. It's not in any repo that I
have seen and I have had problems compiling it. I used to use this on
FreeBSD. I am wondering why it's not more available in the Linux
repositories. Any thoughts?

It's a third party module. Why it is not available in your particular linux distribution you'll have to ask the distribution maintainers (Oracle) as for example it's available in Opensuse https://software.opensuse.org/package/nginx-module-geoip2
My guess would be that it requires libmaxminddb which might or might not be compatible with the distribution licensing politics.
